Will this switch detect a person in the shower behind the shower door? I want to ensure lights remain on.

It really depends on the angle of the switch to the shower door. The acoustics of the shower while on would almost for sure keep the switch on. You do have adjustment on the sensitivity and also the minimum timeout which can be set for as high as 30+ min.

Yes, this light is wired for a light switch to stay on for motion, or switch off if you don't want the light to come on.

There is a switch on the side to select 1. On all the time 2. Off all the time and 3. Comes on when motion is detected. In the motion detected mode, the light will stay on a minute or so with no new motion detected or stay on with continuous motion detected. A great feature is that it can tell when a room light is already on and doesn't come on at all. The unit is very sensitive and if pointed toward the doorway of a room will turn on every time someone passes. To fix that we simple angle the unit away from the doorway so that it only turns on when someone is actually in the room.

Yes it does. Only works while marked on. The switch is pretty secure so no accidental moving.

It would work indoors to detect motion, however not for lights being activated..

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected. B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

I have mine connected to a small video camera with infrared lighting mounted high on an exterior wall, and use it to see who is at my door. I have a toggle switch on the power wire and I only switch it on when someone is at the door or if I want see if I have a package that has been left on my porch. It works great for that purpose.

Short answer is no; however, you can put dark tape or blackout the motion sensor to effectively make the flood operate like a normal light on a switch.

I do not know for sure if it would work. You have to keep in mind that the switch sees motion to the front. You might consider getting a motion scenting light bulb. Good luck...

I have mine in a basement laundry room. I would otherwise have to enter the dark area and cross the room to hit the light switch. When I open the door to the stairs going into the basement, I believe it is the light that floods in that is activating the sensor. It works for me.

The light can NOT be used in a "normal" on/off mode. It has no switch. If the battery is in it will always work as it was designed, i.e., it will come on when there is BOTH motion AND darkness. I use it in an outdoor shower and it provides plenty of light for night-time bathing. It stays on as long as you continue to move and the ambient light is low.

I don't think so, I have it installed to be turned on/off using the switch at the door.

Yes it will but you need the switch to go with it .the sensor sends the signal to the switch to turn on the light

I am not sure. My sensor is only 1 foot away and it turns itself on. It also senses moisture in the humid northeast and will sometimes turn on when it is raining outside and the windows are open. It probably will sense moisture from shower, but it may take awhile to work it's way over to the sensor.

I think you might be asking about the switches that keep light on dusk to dawn, or only when motion is detected.

No, it works by motion/temp change, so it will not turn off as long as there is someone in the area and moving. You can also control the motion sensor sensitivity, so it won't turn on while the room lights are turned on. When the unit is activated, it will shut of based on the predetermined timer setting. You won't be disappointed.

no. you should really have an electrician install it. you need to position an on/off switch near the shower, where you can reach it to turn on/off. use a 30-amp cuircuit breaker and #10 wire best.
